Benjamin Schudel

Back in 1995, when I was 16 I founded my first internet company called MotionArts. Ever since then I'm addicted to the nearly endless possibilities of the web by combining aesthetics and
technology. After building local community sites, Content Managment Systems, Flash Applications & Games I fell in love with Interfaces, Data Visualizations and digital Storytelling in general.
Today I'm working as a Senior Interaction Engineer at Panter Ltd.

US Presidential Primaries 2016

The goal of this visualization is to give a brief overview of the current state of the US primary presidential elections. The overview consists of three parts, the candidates and their current count of delegates, a map that communicates the progress and a shedule that propagates the last results as well as the next held votes.

audiocloud - Diploma 2006

My diploma was all about finding information in time based media files. Because automated transcription has its limits, crowd tagging might be the way to go. With my prototype search engine the user is able to append tags to any particular time slot. This meta data will then help to provide better search results.
